hi mr blundell,all you need to do is take a live supply from your sockets feed,and wire it to a fused spur,then use the feed from fused spur to power your lights,make sure you fit a five amp fuse in the fused spur,its as easy as that,just make sure you turn all power off before you do any work,sd not an electrician,so he not have a clue,
